This is a natural soft face masque containing an extract of brewers' yeast which is applied to the whole face.

I was ready to put my peeling face masque on. It smells like cucumber (funnily enough!) and is really sticky.

The Super food Antioxidant Masque is a super-antioxidant face masque that combines two super foods  Blueberries and Pomegranate  and has been developed to help minimise the negative effects of sun damaged skin.

When a prey is in sight, the mask is thrust forward and the prey instantly impaled on the hooks, then drawn back to the mouth and eaten.

The moment that the larva approaches near enough to its prey, the innocent looking mask is unfolded and darted out, and the unsuspecting aquatic insect or small fish is seized by the teeth at the extremity and drawn back into its mouth.

The larvae of the emperor dragonfly are themselves voracious predators, armed with fearsome mouthparts known as a 'mask'.

Origin

Acting and clowning are indirectly linked in mascara, from Italian maschera, which goes back to an Arabic word meaning ‘buffoon’. Most of the earliest English uses refer to theatrical make-up, though the first known, from 1886, suggests a more discreet use by gentlemen: ‘For darkening the eyebrows and moustaches without greasing them and making them prominent’. Through Italian maschera mascara is also linked to mask (mid 16th century) and masquerade (late 16th century).
